On a short trip to Launde Big Wood recording butterflies I also sampled springtails, which have never been recorded here before. The conditions were hot and very dry (no dew in the morning) so I only sampled by sweeping vegetation.
Deuterosminthurus pallipes was the most abundant species:
Entomobrya nivalis was also quite frequent:
There were a small number of Lepidocyrtus lignorum:
I also found one Dicyrtomina minuta:
More dots on the map for Leicestershire springtails.
